Abstract: Different approaches to the solution of the AGV transportation system control are presented in the paper. The first one is based upon the standard Petri nets extended for control. A way of the process control level modeling is shown. It is a basis for the control of the AGV system at the co-ordination level. An outline of the transportation co-ordination algorithm is described. Another approach is via supervisory control combined with a routing optimization algorithm. Then an approach using colored Petri nets is presented. All approaches are compared.
